Fantasy League Community

Like fantasy football, but you draft drum corps for their captions, and real DCI scores decide who wins.

1. Create or join a league. Leagues are private. The owner shares a short join code. Up to 12 teams.
2. Fill empty spots. The owner can add computer-run teams if you are short on people.
3. Draft. Managers take turns picking. You fill 9 slots, one corps per slot. In your league, each corps-and-caption pair can belong to only one team.
4. Set your lineup each week. You can swap in free agents until that week's lock time.
5. Score. After the real shows, each slot scores that corps' average for that caption that week. No show that week means zero for that slot.
6. Playoffs. The top 8 teams play a bracket that follows the real World Championships: Prelims, Semifinals, Finals.

On draft night each corps shows a projection, a guess based on its last three seasons. Only active World Class corps can be drafted.
